Abstract

Public key infrastructure (PKI) establishes secure communication over digital interfaces and authorized access to technology resources. Traditional PKI systems have weaknesses such as key compromise, trust management failure, escalated vulnerabilities due to a unitary point of failure, and other shortcomings, unlike basic PKI Models, which operate with a certificate authority (CA) centrally. The study proposes blockchain PKI based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), which, with the use of zk-SNARKs, strives to make existing frameworks more efficient and secure. Enhanced privacy guarantees from zk-SNARKs, alongside distributed blockchain, facilitate this. The blockchain acts as an all-encompassing store for certificates where personal privacy is maintained while validation is conducted. Humans can be less dependent on smart contracts, which automate the issuance, validation, and revocation of certificates, enhancing privacy. These characterize the system with ideal universal deployment ...
